In re M.O. CA2/5
On October 20, 2017, the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children’s Services (Santa Clara Department) filed a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a) and (b)(1) relative to a boy, M.O. (the minor), who was then four years old. According to an attachment to the initial hearing report, the minor was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of one. B.L. is the minor’s mother. The minor was placed into protective custody after having sustained a suspicious leg fracture about which mother had given an explanation that was inconsistent with the type of injury sustained. The juvenile court of Santa Clara County declared the minor a dependent child, and he was initially placed in out-of-home foster care. The minor was returned to mother’s care in November 2017, and in January 2018, the juvenile court ordered that mother receive family maintenance services.
